The Hunter's Moon

The Chronicles of Faerie: The Hunter's Moon
by: O.R. Melling
published by: Amulet Books
Summary: Gwen and Findabhair are cousins, but they are also best friends. Gwen is coming from America to visit Fin in Ireland and while they are together they are going to hunt for the magic and secrets of Ireland. They spend the first night of their adventure in a fairy mound and when Gwen wakes up, she finds that Findabhair has vanished. Suddenly things have gone too far for Gwen, she's no brave adventurist! She doesn't know where to begin without her cousin by her side. But she knows she must attempt, so with a little help from the faries she finds her cousin, but not as a damsel in distress. Instead Findabhair seems to be enjoying herself and Gwen is angry that she's gone through so much to rescue her cousin who doesn't want rescuing. Together they face disputes and life changing adventures.
Personal Review: It was hard for me to get into at the beginning, but I really liked it by the end. Ireland seems like a magical, beautiful country and this story really showed that. I loved Gwen's and Findabhair's relationship, they seemed to be the best of friends despite their disagreements and different decisions.
